2 Important updates

I was away the whole Friday so I never had a chance to post this:

1)Daily Surveys(Greenfield): It turns out that their offices are closed Thursday and Friday. You will receive the credits for all surveys on Monday once they come back.

2)Clicks: I read that a lot of members had issues with the clicks section being slow today. The reason is because of Black Friday the stores like Target (which is an advertiser) had too much traffic and their banners had too much loading time. What we will also do on our end is split up the banners between multiple pages. As far as crediting for clicks goes (I will repeat this again) Clorax WILL NOT credit. We don’t have a way of fixing this. Just keep refreshing until another banner shows up.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cyber Monday shopping rate boost request

We will be having a lot of shopping rate boosts on Cyber Monday and YOU are in control of which merchants you want to see a rate boost on. Please post a comment with the merchant(s) you would like higher rates on and your wish will be granted (99.9% of the time).

Important information regarding the new hourly clicks

The new hourly clicks can be done once an hour. One hour you can see Target the next hour you can see Universal, Delta, Clorax and so on. They keep rotating. Some of the clicks such as Clorax do not credit in IE and work in Firefox (same for Delta). We do not have a way to fix this issue since it is not something that's happening on our end. Our only option is to get rid of all the new clicks which we can’t do since this is an awesome earning opportunity for members. Just letting you all know that if Clorax does not credit do not think it is an issue with our tracking or crediting. We suggest that you do these clicks in Firefox for best results.

Quick update regarding daily $0.75 Greenfield survey:
I was at a meeting with them this past Monday. She told me that around 15th they will be adding a whole new router of surveys so everyone should have better luck qualifying for them.

Introducing: OTX Survey -> New daily $0.60 Survey

QuickRewards is glad to introduce a new advertiser, OTX Surveys. It works the same way as the Greenfield Daily $0.75 survey, but has its own advantages. Members can now complete two daily surveys every 24 hours ($0.75 Greenfield and $0.60 OTX). Go to the surveys section to get started!

So what’s so special about OTX?
-OTX surveys credit within hours after you successfully complete them.
-They have hundredth of surveys in rotation and all have guaranteed tracking with no tracking issues. As soon as you finish a survey it will assign a survey ID to you so that you have proof of taking a survey. Their system is very powerful that can keep track of every survey you completed and attempted to complete. We were told that they have the most surveys on Friday and weekends.
-You can try until you qualify. If you don’t qualify right away it will give you an option of qualifying for another survey. No waiting hours to try again.

OTX Survey club:

Complete 15 surveys in one month and get a $2 bonus

Complete 20 surveys in one month and get a $3 bonus

Complete 25 surveys in one month and get a $5 bonus

Please remember that we also have a Greenfield Daily Survey club:
Complete 15 surveys in one month and get a $3 bonus
Complete 20 surveys in one month and get a $5 bonus

In a nutshell survey takers, this is your opportunity to earn more daily in addition to earning more bonuses at the end of the month. Don’t forget to visit the surveys section of the site daily.

We need your help!

We are creating a testimonials page for getting new advertisers into QR. If you would like to be included on that page please email or post a testimonial in the comments. In the testimonial please include how long you have been a QR member, your first name and the first letter of your last name (Not full last name for security reasons).

I appreciate your help on this.

Important changes to the token loyalty program starting January 2008

We have new and excited news to share with you regarding the terms of our token loyalty program. We heard feedback from our members and listened to what you had to say. As a result, we are redesigning the loyalty token program starting January 2008.

Starting today your tokens will never expire however in January 2008, you will not be able to redeem them for gift cards due to the fact that some advertisers don’t allow rewarding cash for certain offers and only allow rewarding tokens. This new rule will allow us to bring in new advertisers on board. You will only be able to redeem the tokens for prizes and QR merchandise. To make it clear this change only has to do with loyalty token program. You will still earn cash on the site and redeem them for Paypal or gift cards as you do now.

Another exciting change is that frequent shoppers will earn double the tokens for everything they do. If a member who is not a frequent shopper reaches $25 a month (100% on the bar) they will also be able to double the amount of tokens they earn during that month. Those that don’t earn $25 a month will not receive double tokens and will not lose 50% of the tokens.

Finally I know when other sites create changes like this they usually increase the token values of everything. We are not other websites and care about our members. We did our homework. We put ourselves in your shoes and asked ourselves “Why should we screw the members who have been so loyal to us?”. If we change the rules they will just get frustrated and will not be loyal any more. This will not be the case here with the value increases although we will be adding new merchandise/prizes and the QR branded merchandise will have a lower point value then the non-QR branded merchandise.

I am very sure that everyone will enjoy this new change. We are one of the very few rewards programs that have a loyalty program that rewards their members an additional incentive on top of the everyday reward earnings.

If you have any questions/feedback please share it by leaving a comment. This is the type of feedback I look forward to receiving so that I can improve things on QR.
